This is based off of Shaper's Opus Thief deck. With the following changes

-Necropotence: it is hard to cast and feels awkward with this deck. Necroing for a lot then sculpting a perfect seven or the next turn does work, however the low creature count means that your life total is going to be under pressure all game long. An additional include, Fire Covenant will also be taxing our life total.

+Verity Circle: card drawn when mana dorks tap. It is a soft Cursed Totem or its card draw. Either way its good.

-Pyroclasm: Sorcery Speed 2 damage to all creatures is decent, however, sorcery speed is a little hard.

+Fire Covenant: Costs life, but it has both instant speed and the ability to snipe specific creatures that need to be removed.

-Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth: Not having necro means that this isn't really worth the spot.

+Mox Opal: Our artifact count is high enough to consistently get metalcraft. Normally you aim at 16-18 artifacts for Mox Opal, but with the increased card cycling and selection, more artifacts will be found to make up the difference.

-Lotus Pedal: This one time effect doesn't do enough for us.

+Grafdigger's Cage: Rough with Yawgmoth's Will, but Mnemonic Betrayal gets around it. It is also one of the best pieces of hate in the format right now.

-Demonic Consultation: I've personally never liked Consultation, it is mostly used as a Lab Maniac win and not for the tutor purpose. I have died too many times to the tutor side of things, making this only a consistent three card combo with Lab Maniac and a cantrip. This isn't worth the slot.

+Stasis: I may just be hyped on Smothering Tithe. This piece of hate holds everyone off for several turns. Deployed correctly, it can stall out the board for several turns. Deployed WITH Smothering Tithe is a lock with advantage for the long run.
